Witnesses for the Railroad Snffer
Greatly Under Maiinie Martin's
. Merciless Cross Examination
After the noon rece sij yesterday, Mr.
Pillans was again placed on the stand
and the Oklawaha Valley case was
continued. Mr. Pillans testified that
the road did a net business of $1600 in
June 1921, ?2110 in July 1921 and
$2834 in August 1921, and that they
hiid a balance of ?50Ji).01 on hand on
Aug. 31, 1921. He, Htated that the
road had made a good increase in bus business
iness business in the past few months, due, he
thought, to better bu.ii.ness conditions,
reduction in operating costs, lower
labor and material Costs. He said
that the business of the Rodman Lum Lumber
ber Lumber Co. was' turned over to the road
in August and that it also helped the
road to a certain extent. Upon direct
examination Mr. Pillans stated that
the con4ition of the 0. V. was much
better than it was when it was turned
over to Mr. Cummmgs. He stated
they had spent considerable money on
. bridges and had put in between 30,000
and'40,000 new crossties. He said
that when Mr. Curamings took charge

spent by the receivex was in the way
of betterments. Mr, Pillans stated
that although the Rodman Lumber Co.
is the chief patron on the road, there
are many other people on the route
who are benefited by; the service. He
said there were three stores in Orange
Springs; one in Kenwood, one in Bur Bur-bank,
bank, Bur-bank, three in Fort McCoy and that
these as well as people in the country
along the route ars dapendent on the
O. V. for their transportation. He

press Cypress Company's use of the road, Mr
Pillans said there was a considerable
amount of available hard wood along
the route and that it is being shipped
a little at the time with prospects of
larger 'shipments to wood workers in
Palatka.,. The Arlo Box Co. has a
spur to the O. .V. and used the O. V.
tracks into Orange Springs. Besides
these users of the road there are three
naval stores plants shipping over the
O. V. tracks. On further questioning
Mr. Pillans stated that there was
some farm produce shipped over the
load but does not know about stock stockmen
men stockmen using the O.-V. In addition to
these sources of revenue, Mr. Pillans
stated that the O. V. has a mail con contract
tract contract bringing it $277 a month and an
. express contract bringing $80 a
month. He stated further that the
" Wilson Cypress Co. ran its own trains
and paid rent for using the track at
' the rate of $2.75 a car, and that the
Wilson Cypress Co. has to repair any
damage done to the track on roadbed.
.. Mr. Hilburn then turned the witness
over to Mr. E. H. Martin for cross cross-examination.

to go over all the statements made by
Mr. Pillans and made every effort to
verify by actual figures whether the
O. V. was paying expenses or not,
whether it is paying expenses exclus exclusive
ive exclusive of the hauling done by the three
sawmills on its route and whether
: when the mills cut out their timber
(as will happen in the course of a few
years) the road can then pay ex-
, epnses. In his questioning Mr. Mar Mar-tin
tin Mar-tin found a good many discrepancies
in the direct testimony of Mr. Pilans.
Quite a number of figures quoted in
. his testimony were far from corres-
ponding with the reports sent in from
time to time by the receiver, which
reported were compiled by Mr. Pil
lans. Mr. Pillans was at a loss to
account for these discrepancies, but
promised to return to Rodman and
look further into hiis books and see if
he could locate them.' Many of the
questions asked by Mr. Martin in
cross examination that dealt with ex exact
act exact figures, Mr. Pillans was unable to
answer from the data he had brought
.to Ocala. A list of these questions
was made and Mr. Pillans has return returned

Mr. Martin's line of questioning was

whether the road was a paying prop proposition

mine whether the receiver wa3 trying
to keep the road running because of a
personal benefit to himself at Rod Rodman,
man, Rodman, or whether it was for the good
of all concerned.
He proved by cross examination of
Mr. Pillans that between 60 and 75
per cent of the receipts of the road
came from the three mills, none of
which will be using the O. V. for any
permanent period. That left only 25
to 40 per cent of the income to be ob obtained
tained obtained from .the people along the
route and it is evident that this small
per centage wiil not pay expenses.
Another piea put up by those want wanting
ing wanting to continue the service of the O.
V. is that it would leave the Wilson
ind Rodman companies withdut any
means to move their logs and lumber.
Mr. Martin showed that the Wilson
company had direct connection with
the Seaboard at Silver Springs and
that the Rodman company had only
been using the O. V. since August
1921, previous to that time it having
shipped over the A. C. E. and a side sidetrack
track sidetrack of its own to Verdun. Mr. Mar Martin
tin Martin said this same route could be used
again. Mr. Martin several times seem seemed
ed seemed to get Mr. Pillans confused and
forced him to say' he did not under understand

had knowledge enough of railroading
to give, an intelligent answer.
Mr. H. M. Hampton also cross ex examined
amined examined the witness, but covered prac practically
tically practically the same ground as his col colleague,
league, colleague, except that he went more fully
into some of the points.
The next witness called was Mr, A.
N. Corcoran, secretary of tne Wilson
Cypress Co. He stated that the O.
V. was of great value to Bis company
in getting its cypress out of the Ok Oklawaha
lawaha Oklawaha swamp and shipping via Sil Silver
ver Silver Springs and O. V. to Palatka. He
stated they had about a year's supply
of timber in the swamp and that there
is considerable hard wood there. He
said there were other lumber ship shipments
ments shipments that his company might throw
to the O. V. and that he would use
his influence to do so if the Q. V. is
continued. He stated that he had had
some experience in lumber railroads
and that the O. V. was in good shape.
On cross examination his testimony

was pretty well torn up by Mr. Mar Martin,:
tin,: Martin,: His statement that his company
had another year's work in its present
location held fast, but .the fact that
trey had never used the O. V. for lum lumber
ber lumber shipments and that Mr. Corcoran
had no authority except his influence
and could not give any guarantee of
future shipments, somewhat destroyed
tne strength of that direct testimony.
Mr. Martin made fun of him for
saying the O. V. track was in good
condition when he admitted that he
had only examined it from the rear
of a moving train and could not tell
hew many rotten crossties there were.'
He admitted that the Wilson company
could connect its logging territory
cither with the A. C L at Candler
or with the S. A. L. at Silver Springs
and was not dependent on the O. V.
entirely. ..
Mr. H. M. De Montmollin of Palat Palat-ka,
ka, Palat-ka, was the next witness. He testi testified
fied testified to a great deal of statistics as to
what the O. V. could do towards mak making
ing making a cheaper freight rate toOcala
because it had the shortest haul. He
said the reason the road has never
been patronized is that it has charged
the long distance rate instead of
availing itself of its short mileage.
He said the O. V. was now in posi position
tion position to get docking privileges with
the G. S. & F. at Palatka and that
this would put it in connection with
a schooner freight system that Pa Palatka
latka Palatka is inaugurating. He said that
the Palatka wholesalers are anxious
to get this through in order to im improve
prove improve their rates to the points on the
S. A. L. sout hof Ocala! He promised
that the Palatka merchants would
give the O. V. a large volume of
freight if it is continued and will
adopt the short haul rate. In cross
examination Mr. Martin admitted that
the witness talked too many technical
terms for him to follow, but he want wanted
ed wanted to know why the A. C. L. would not
meet the O. V. low rate should it be
inaugurated. Mr. DeMontmollin said
that the A. C. L. would cut to the
lower rate but that "the people thru
gratitude to the O. V. for making the
low rate would continue to ship by the
O i V, routing. Mr. Martin seemed
to think this a rather far-fetched
theory.
Court then adjourned to meet at 9
o'clock this morning.
Today's Session
The O. V. hearing today brought
cut some unexpected points and some
startling statements as to the value
of the road to this section.' The first
witness was Mr. A. H. Sells of Palat Palatka,
ka, Palatka, who is in the moss business there,
and testified that he obtained large
shipments over the O. V., but on cross
examination admitted that the ship shipments
ments shipments so far had been very small, but
that he expected them to grow in the
future. - '
Mr. C. CY Hudson, of a wholesale
grocery firm of Palatka, insisted on
direct examination that the O. V. was
almost indispensable to his house and

that they did lots of business along j
the O. V. route, but cross examination i
showed that most of this business was I
br.siness that could be shipped over ;
the O. V. but had been irping over s
other lines to date.': The great ma-
jority of the business that his house '.

shipped over the O. V. wa s to Rod-
man, which is, of course, only te'mpo-
rary business.
Mr. Rush H. Todd of Ocala, showed
that he had to pay considerable higher j
freight rates since the O. V. closed
down than he did before. This freight
was admitted, under- cross examina examination,
tion, examination, to be material bought from the
Rodman Lumber Company and Mr.
Todd said that although he specified
in many cases for northern shipments
to be routed by the O. V., they rarely
came that way, but were kept by the
railroad bringing them info) Florida.
Mr. Charles Burt, county commis commissioner
sioner commissioner of Putnam county, testified
that the O. V. was being used by them
to build a" road from Palatka to Or Orange
ange Orange Creek and that the discontinu discontinuance

more money to get material. This
work will be finished by Jaru 1st, 1922,

Business Development Amisted by O.
V. Trouble
-Mr. Lee Miller of Ocala, was called
as a witness and brought forward
some testimony that was a surprise
to th'e court. Mr. Miller testified that
at .the time the sheriff -of Marion
county stopped operations of the O.
V. a corporations was being formed
and that the money was in hand to
build a large brick and tile manufac manufacturing
turing manufacturing plant near Burbank. He said
that Barrett Brothers of Missouri,
were the largest interested parties in
this venture and that they had pur purchased

owned by the New South Farm and
Homes Company in the Burbank and
Fort McCoy district. 'Mr. MHler said
there was a deposit of brick and tile
clay on the land excelled by none in
the state and that there was a supply
sufficient to run the proposed plant
for 100 years. The plant under plans,
drawn was to have a capacity of 300, 300,-000
000 300,-000 brick a month, or a matter of 35
cars a month hauling to the O. V. The

Miller stated that the plans as outlin outlined

there was some assurance; that the O.

said there is enough wood there to run
a plant of the size they had planned
for at least 20 years.
Mr. C. S. Roe, general manager of
the O. V., was next on the stand and
gave quite a long lecture on the ad advantages

TWO HOUSES ENTERED
BY THIEVES LAST NIGHT
Between four and five o'clock this
morning, Mrs. C. G. Rose, living at
No. 231 S. Second street, was awak awakened
ened awakened by a noise which she at first
thought was a rat in the wall, but yet
she wasn't sure it sounded exactly
like a rat and as she listened she
heard the door into the dining room
make a slight squeak. Just at that
moment a hand came around the
edge of the bedroom door 'and a man
approached the bureau which stands
right at the door. The man was
heavy set, had on rough looking
clothes and wore a cap' -pulled well
down over his face. He carried a
flashlight and went over the things on
the dresser, 'while Mrs. Rose was
waking her husband.
The burglar heard Mr. Rose when
he roused and ran. Mr. Rose thought
he made hU escape through a window
and fired in that direction, but When
1-e began to investigate he saw that
the burglar had come into the house
by picking the latch on the screen
door at the back of the house and
that he escaped the same way, drop dropping
ping dropping a memorandum book and some
other things as he jumped over an
ironing board.
Mr. Rose then dressed and looked
up-a policeman and the two went to
the depot to see if anybody there had
seen a man of the description in the
last fifteen minutes. Some one had
seen a man walking fast out Magno Magnolia
lia Magnolia street towards the Gainesville
roa'd, so Mr. Rose and the policeman
drove out that way to see if they
could see anything of him. When the
had almost reached the fork of the
road, about two and a half miles out,
the policeman saw a man beside the
road crouched in the weeds, so they
stopped and ran back as quickly as
they could and the policeman emptied
kis revolver after the fleeing man, but
was unable to hit him on account of
the darkness.
The man on the Gainesville road
was barefaoted and there are barefoot
tracks around the Rose home where
the man escaped, and the. officer and
Mr. Rose feel that they were on the
right track. The only thing that Mr.
Rose has -missed from' his house is
about three dollars in currency. His
watch and some small change were
on the bureau, but it is evident that
the burglar had to leave too suddenly
to finish his job.
. This morning when Mr. L. M. Mur Murray,
ray, Murray, living next door to Mr. Rose,
started to- dress he found that he was
a man without any trousers. On
searching for them he found them by
the open window of the bath room, but
there was no money in the pockets.

"You'd go back to your father, I

"Until I could get into something,"
Cherry replied with diginity. A vague
thought of the stage flitted through her
mind.

he asked.

"All right you write and ask him!"

"Not the least in the world!" he
answered lightly.

Alix had warned her to be quiet, but

forsook her entirely "and she fell to

"Shall I read you from Mark?" Alix
asked, as his voice sank again. A
shabby old Bible always stood at her
father's bedside; she reached for It,
and making a desperate effort to
steady her voice, began to read. The
place was marked by an old letter,
and opened at the chapter he seemed
to desire, for as she read he seeraed
to be drinking In the words. Once
they heard him whisper, "Wonderful !"

Cherry loved to remember that his
last utterance was her name. But
Alix knew, though she never said it,
that It was to another pharlty he
spoke.
Subdued, looking younger and thin thinner
ner thinner In their new black, the sisters
came downstairs, ten days later., for
a business talk. Peter had been named
as one executor; but Peter was far
away, and It was a pleasant family
friend, a kindly old surgeon of Dr.
Strickland's own age. or near It. and
the lawyer, George Sewall, the other
executor, who told them about their
affairs. Anne, as co-heiress, was pres present
ent present at this talk, with Justin sitting
close beside her. Martin, too, who
had come down for the funeral, was
there.
The house went to the daughters ;
there were books and portraits for
Anne, a box or two in storage for
Anne! and Anne was mentioned in the
only will as equally Inheriting with
Alexandra and Charity. For some
legal reason that the lawyer and Dr.
Younger made clear, Anne could not
fully Inherit, but her share would be
only a trifle less than her cousins'.
Things had reached this point when
Justin Little calmly and confidently
claimed that Anne's share was t be
based upon an old loan of Anne's fa father
ther father -.to his brother, a loan of three
thousand dollars to float Lee Strick Strickland's
land's Strickland's Invention, withthe understand understanding

for nearly one hundred and fifty thou thousand

w hich no payment had ever been taade
Anne, was a large proportion of the
entire estate, and the development of
this claim, In Justin Little's assured,
woodeny voice, caused every one te
look grave,
yhe estate was not worth one hun-
i dred and fifty thousand dollars aow.
by any means ; It had been reduced to
little more than two-thirds of that
sum, and Anne's bright concern that
every one should be satisfied with
what, was right, and her IngenaQis
pleasure In Justin's cleverness In
thinking of this possibility, were met
with noticeable coldness.
If Anne was wrong, and the paper
she held In her hand worthless, each
gtrL would inherit a comfortable little
fortune, but If Anne was right. Cherry
and Alix would have only a few thou thousand
sand thousand dollars apiece, and the old htme.
The business talk was ever before
any of them realized the enormity of
Anne's contention, and Anne and Jus Justin
tin Justin had departed. But both the old
doctor and the lawyer agreed with
Martin that it looked as If Anne was
right, and when the family was alone
again, and had had the time te digest
the matter, they felt as If a thunder thunderbolt
bolt thunderbolt had fallen across their lives.
"That Anne could do It!" Alix said,
over and over. Cherry seemed dazed,
spoke not at all, and Martin had said
little.
"People will do anything for mon
ey I" he observed once drily. He had
met Justin sternly. "Pm not thinking
of my wife's share I didn't marry her
for her money i never knew she had
any! But I'm thinking f Alix."
MYes we must think of darling
Alix !" Anne had said, nervously eager
that there should be no quarrel. "If
Uncle Lee Intended me to have all this
money, then I suppose I must take It,
but I shan't be happy unless things are
arranged so that Alix shall be com comfortable
fortable comfortable !"
",B-but the worst of It is, Alix!"
Cherry stammered, suddenly, on the
cay before sne and Martin were to
return to Ked Creek, "I I counted on
haing enough enough to live my ewn
life.! Alix, 1 can't 1 can't go back!"
"Why, my darling" Alix exclaimed,
as Cherry began to cry in her arms,
"My darling, it is as bad as all that?"
"Oh, Alix," whispered the little sis sister,
ter, sister, trembling. "I can't bear it. You
don't know how I feel. lou and Dad
were always here; now that's all gone
you're going to rent the bouse and
try to teach singing and I've nothing
to look forward to I've nobody!"
"Listen, dear," Alix soothed her. "If
they advise It. and especially if Peter
advies it when he gets back, well fight
Anne. And then if we win our fight.
I'll always keep the valley house optn.
And if we dun't. why I'm going to visit

But she was crying, too. Everything
seemed changed, cold and strange ; she
had suspected that Cherry's was not a
successful marriage; she knew it now,
and to resign the adored little sister
to the unsympathetic atmosphere of
Red CrKk, and to miss all the old
life and the old a-elations. made her
heart ache.
"There's there's nothing, special.

It's Just that I get bad moods," she
said, bravely. "I was pretty young to
marry at all, I guess."
"Martin loves you," Alix suggested
timidly.
"He takes me for granted," Cherry
said, after a pausei "There doesn't
seem to be anything alive in the feel feeling
ing feeling between us," she added, slowly. "If
he says something to me, I make an
effort to get his point of view before
I answer. If I tell him some plan of

crazy! I don't seem very domestic
that's alL I I try. Really, I do!
But" and Cherry seemed to brace
herself In soul and body "but that's

.She gave Alix a long kiss in parting,
the next day, and clung to her.
"I'll write you about the case, and
wire you If you're needed, and see you
soon!" Alix said, cheerfully. Then she
turned and went back Into the empty
house, keeping back her tears until the
sound of the surrey had quite died
away.

Alexandra Strickland, earning down
the stairway of the valley house on an
April evening, glanced curiously at the

had been so long and so quiet that she
had fancied that the hour was much
later, and had wondered who knocked

hands gropingly and went Into his

kissed her, and for a minute they
clung together.
"Peter!" she said. "You angel angel-when

"But Alix you're thin!" Peter said,
